A Favorite New Find...and...Some Very Exciting News!

I have been a little out of the loop for a few days for a very exciting reason…and I will explain in just a minute! But first I want to show you my latest love…my French wire egg holder! Woo hoo! I have been on the hunt for this baby for several years…ever since I saw one while touring Monet’s wonderful blue and white kitchen in Giverny! But…it was nowhere to be found.

Then while I was shopping at the Williams Sonoma outlet with my friend Linda at Nina’s Nest, the heavens opened up and a shaft of light fell upon…my French wire egg holder! And…it was even on sale! Woo hoo! Come to mama! You have to admit that is just about the frenchiest thing you have ever seen! Now Claude Monet has nothing on me! I am in love! :-)

And now my big news…why am I showing you my Christmas decorations? They have been up all this time because…I had a magazine shoot at my house! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yes…pinch me!Country Sampler will be featuring my house all decorated for Christmas in an issue this fall! I am still smiling and it seems like a dream! I was afraid to tell anyone until it was over…just in case it wasn’t real! lol It was so much fun! The photographer and his wife/stylist were such interesting people. I felt like some friends had come to play with my toys!

And I must report that our Miss Kitty made a fool of her sweet self over them and managed to work her way into several shots! While the rest of the staff hid under the bed all day, Kitty wormed her way into their hearts and a star was born! Here she is taking a well-deserved nap after a hard day of modeling! Sooo…once the magazine is on the shelves, I will share it with you…but I have a long time to wait! I have a feeling will be excited all over again…so brace yourselves! I hope you don’t mind! :-)

Congrats, and happy, happy day. This is so well-deserved!! I think Town and Country Living blog will be featured in the Christmas issue next year as well. I think she said something about having to leave her decorations up late. Woo Hoo!!!

What wonderful news, Deb. I'm not surprised though that a magazine has found you. Your home is so beautiful. That Miss Kitty, so shameless. She probably dreams of being a model and now she is. Love the egg holder. Very unique.

Congratulations on a well deserved recognition from Country Sampler. I am grinning from ear to ear!! So Exciting and I am so thrilled for you. Loving the egg holder, perfect addition to your kitchen and baby kitty looks so relaxed and comfy I can see why she/he was the star of the day!! xo Kathysue

Congratulations Debbie, You deserved the honor and I like reading Country Sample. As fast as the time is going, it will be here before we are ready. It seems as though one month starts and is gone in a blink of an eye. I like the egg holder and your kitty is adorable. Have a wonderful day. Your Missouri Friend.

Congratulations, Debbie! I'm so excited for you! A well deserved honor for sure. I'll look forward to seeing the magazine. Next fall will be here before you know it! BTW - I adore your newest treasure.

Congrats Debbie....what a great honor and feather in your cap!!!....I saw that egg wire basket at the WS outlet too...Kim (Savvy Southern) and I were shopping there too!!!...I went back and forth on deciding whether to buy it...but passed on it...should not have done that!!...Love it!!

Oooo, I'm doing the happy dance for you, Debbie!! Kudos & Congrats!!! I think my friend who lives in a Century home has a subscription to that magazine. I shall tell her all about your upcoming feature & send her this link, too. YAY, YOU!!!

Love your egg holder, but I don't understand why someone would want to put eggs out on the counter in it. ??? don't eggs always have to be refrigerated??? I bet you're going to do something very pretty for Easter with it, though!!

Thanks so much, Rett! And about the eggs...mine will be for show and even if they do go bad, I won't know unless I crack one! (Voice of experience from old Easter eggs! ) Monet would not, of course, have had refrigeration and, being the copy cat that I am, I am copying Monet! Or maybe Mrs. Monet...although he was a pretty good cook, from what I understand! ...hugs...Debbie

Debbie,Congratulations!!!Wonderful news to share with all of us who follow and love you, dearly!!!I am totally excited for you, dear friend!!!A Frenchy Christmas in Country Sampler...sounds intriquing!!!So~o~o glad Miss Kitty wasn't camera shy and will be included!Be sure to remind us...and I'm sure I'll get all excited all over again, too!!!Great find on your egg keeper!!!Fondly,Pat

Wonderful news...Congratulations. I love your egg holder so much, I hopped onto Etsy and found something similar. Yours is much nicer though. The openings of the ETsy one is so big an egg will slip right through it...lol. Maybe eggs were larger in days gone by!

Congratulations on a well-deserved honor!! I am a faithful reader of your blog, as well as a fellow retired French teacher, and I always look forward to treating myself to some time spent with you and your adventures. Love everything about your blog and will be looking forward to the magazine!
